Another Red To Sunderland – Does Keano Have What It Takes?

Phil Bardsley has joined the long list of ex-Reds at Roy Keane’s Sunderland today, for a fee which could be worth £2 million. I know I’m not alone in feeling regretful over saying farewell to the Salford lad, who a couple of years ago looked to be the man to replace Gary Neville, in playing [...]

Essien: Roy Keane Is My Hero

“It is tedious to lose one of the best players in Europe but he has not left yet,” said Jean-Michel Aulus, the Lyon president. “We can still find a compromise so that he only leaves next year.

Manchester United 4 Manchester United Graveyard 0

It makes sense that young and inexperienced managers would bring in players who he was familiar with. That is why Roy Keane has invested heavily in Irish players and United/former United playes. Out of the sixteen man squad that faced United today, five of them used to play for United, and that’s with former red, [...]

Anderson – A Little Bit of Scholes and Keane?

When it was announced that United had signed teenager Anderson for a fee that could rise to £19 million, the country thought Fergie was barking.

After Cantona and Keane, Captain Rooney is Obvious

It’s been a while since I’ve had a “favourite player”. By favourite, I mean the player who you defend until you’re blue in the face (regardless of their wrong doings), the player you could watch for hours on end, the player you admire and brag about in equal amounts. It seems a pretty childish thing [...]

England Embarrassment: Thank God For Manchester United

When Roy Keane returned the “shamed man” from the World Cup finals 2002, he knew he was going to be in for a tough time from the country and the media. What he deemed unacceptable behaviour from the FAI, embarrassing treatment, lead him to his decision to fly back to Manchester from Japan. When reflecting [...]

Why We Love Keano

Today is a day I’ve been looking forward to since the fixture lists were announced. It’s the day that Roy Keane returns to Old Trafford. I was one of the lucky 70,000 fans who got to say farewell to Keano at his testimonial, and the crowd was fantastic. Keane embodied so many qualities in a [...]

Evra Paid For, Thanks Kieran, Now Fuck Off

Many Manchester United fans adopted Sunderland as their “2nd team” when hero Roy Keane took over at the North East club. For all the sacrifice and hard work, for all the tackles and goals, for all the spirit and passion, Keano embodied what it meant to be a United player, and we all loved him [...]

Bye bye Roy

I was one of the fortunate 69,591 fans to be at Old Trafford tonight. My tickets were in the South stand, and although I’ll usually do anything to avoid that stand because of the lack of atmosphere, I was happy with what I could get today! I was in town nice and early. By 6.30pm [...]
